I haven't worked on these since my days in the shop from the early 70's to the mid 80's. I assume they're still built the same, and I'll try to remember. Randy mentions a cracked hose. That's one important thing. There is a seal back in where the nozzle screws in. It's very important as this little bugger separates the air pressure from the fuel. The vane pump pumps air under pressure out through the nozzle, which then siphons fuel up through the CLEAN filter, good hose, and out through the nozzle, where the air and fuel are mixed. Like an engine, problem is almost always a fuel delivery problem, not an air problem. So, the cleanliness and integrity of the whole delivery system is important. You can hold a finger over the air relief valve/adjusting screw, giving it full pressure, for starting. Often the difference of whether one of these units starts is the fuel. Most will burn fuel oil all day, but many won't start on it. They require the thinner kerosene to get that initial siphon going. The air pressure is about correct when the front flame cone has a little dark spot in the middle, and the rest of it glows red.
